The whole film is a neat narrative, as if to see the cruelty of reality with truth, just reappearance of the scene without evasiveness is enough to reflect the darkness in it. But the whole film is heavy and deepens the understanding of history, but the highlights that can be talked about are nothing more than that. It cannot break away from the historical background to think carefully, because its ending is not smooth enough. It can only tell us that the real reliable is the power of money. The lower-class blacks who have nothing can only give up on themselves; or they can only survive by resignation, but this also has its education. Meaning, the “weakness” of the current situation can be distinguished to survive; in addition, the evil slave owners have escaped instead, reflecting the historical roots of today's American society and the black hole of capitalism.
